"Partnering with Toshiba America Medical Systems has enabled us at CVCTA Education to teach our students groundbreaking procedures using the finest technology available," explained Dr. Tony DeFrance, medical director of CVCTA Education.

Over the last three months, the SCCT has requested that all physicians who graduated from CTA courses across the country submit reviews of these courses. More than 300 reviews were submitted reviewing 16 different institutions/physicians offering CTA courses. More than 140 physician respondents, the largest segment in the entire survey, submitted positive reviews regarding CVCTA Education.

"By providing physicians the forum to share feedback on CTA courses nationwide, the SCCT is showing its commitment to quality physician education," added Doug Ryan, senior director, CT Business Unit, Toshiba America Medical Systems. "This is a tremendous achievement for the team at CVCTA."

Of CVCTA's 140 responses, 94.5% gave the course a "five," the top ranking on a scale of one-to-five. In addition, physicians were asked to provide written feedback on the course.

"Dr. DeFrance's courses are well executed and he keeps his audience engaged," said Dr. Mark Winkler Winkler may refer to:
